"You are the strength when I am weak
The only one that leads my soul to perfect peace
And I will sing my way through the night
The words that bring me back to life"

In “Gonna Be Alright,” Ryan Ellis provides us with a humble, moving ballad for those times when we just need to hold on a moment longer. This song reminds us of God’s promise to give us a future and a hope, even if we might be hurting now.
